She was born at 5.47pm BST (12.47 EDT) after a 'textbook' normal delivery and weighed in at a 'meaty' 4.3kg (9lb 7oz). Theresa and Kathryn are both doing well, apart from both being incredibly tired , and I look forward to bringing them both home on Saturday!

Thanks to everyone on TR who has wished us well along the way and I will post a link in due course as soon as the pictures are on-line!

I look forward with anticipation to the next eighteen or so years but dread the day that she turns round at school and says "When I grow up I want to be a computer engineer like my Daddy..."

My fatherly reply will either be "Over my dead body!" or "Wouldn't you be better off getting a PROPER job?!!"

Congrats Mike but just remember it's all down hill from

Here on. But I suspose you're lucky that she wasn't born clutching a PDA and demanding to know why it wouldn't work.

But enjoy at this time as it is the best that it will get long sleepless nights bad days through lack of sleep and then you begin to wonder what she's getting up to {wops sorry that comes about 15 years latter} right now it's only the sleepless nights and dirty nappies.

Believe me my youngest is now 27 years old and she's more problems now than she was when born if that's possible and even though there are times that I'd like to kill them quite willingly I wouldn't be without them either even though one makes me get up at 4.00 am to take him to work. I really don't know what's wrong with the young kids nowdays when I turned 18 I had a car and drivers licence my oldes is now 29 and lacks both as he always knows that either Mom or Dad will be there to take him and his friends where ever they want to go. Now I've only got to get the mobile home registered and go touring for the next 8 years or so and hopefully I'll be rid of them.

Cheers... mate

I promise tonight to buy and toast a Guiness pint (16oz grumble grumble) to your new found joy. I'll also pray that you get good sleep for the next year. Give an atta girl to Theresa for a job well done on a healthy baby.
